Display Solution AG announced it has signed an agreement with Samsung Semiconductor Europe GmbH to distribute public information display panel, or digital signage display, products.

Under terms of the agreement, Display Solution will deliver PID Kits with its in-house Panel Control Boards, as well as multiple monitor solutions for digital signage markets in Europe and the Middle East. The PID Panels will include a wide range of large formats.

The announcement also listed what the company said are major benefits of professional market PIDs compared to consumer TV displays of equal size, such as narrower bezels and slimmer designs for wall mounting; landscape- and portrait-convertible designs; a longer product life cycle (more than two years); wide color gamut (more than 70 percent); operational reliability (turned on for up to 20 hours/day); semi-outdoor and outdoor capabilities, as well as indoor models available with high brightness; and an extended warranty period (24months for E-PID and P-PID ).

"Display Solution nicely rounds out our existing distribution network for digital signage and will help to address additional market segments in further growing our business," Bernd Dedner, head of sales, Samsung Semiconductor Europe GmbH, said in the announcement. "Its display market knowledge combined with an extensive technical understanding will provide a real value-add for our European customers."
